Being from Chicago, the pizza in NE USA is terrible. I can see why you want to make your own.
If you have pizza often then its better to use slow rising dough mix that takes a week to rise. Using fast rising mix = poorer dough. Most don't due to vol. of pizza consumed.
I have a machine that kneeds dough and is a roller system that can make consistent thickness dough sheets, necessary for best pizza. I like thin crispy dough after cooking.
Add some oregano to that sauce ! More is better.
And pineapple and slices of ham ? I prefer sausage, pepperoni, and onion. This pineapple craze is questionable to me. I worked making pizzas some time ago, no one ordered pineapple at that time. Ham is OK sometimes. So is bacon. I don't like mushrooms or any fruit as a topping. I hated making za with mushrooms. Yuck.
You may wish to try pre-heating the metal pan used prior to use..it should make pizza less moisture on crust.

By NE, you refer to above NY and NJ i presume. As the best pizza comes from the coal fired ovens at Lombardis, Arturos or Angelos in NY, and Anthonys in NJ.davidmcbeth3 wrote: ↑Thu. Dec. 22, 2022 3:39 pm Being from Chicago, the pizza in NE USA is terrible. I can see why you want to make your own.

A bad pizza barely exists. Some are a little better and thats usually just more spices. Looks good CH. I like how you do the edges.

True although I agree that NY NJ and Chicago make my favorite. Since this is a coal site if any of you make it into coal country you should stop at Palermo’s or Roma pizza in minersville and Pottsville respectively. They are very good. My brother went to college in upstate ny far from anything, my buddy mailed him a piece of Palermo’s and he ate it three days later!
Thanks for sharing

I have a Tombstone pizza I was saving for Christmas and all this pizza talk tells me its not going to last that long!
Im going to try making one of those tortilla pizzas first and work myself up. Next trip to Walmart I'll get what I need. Thanks for inspiring me.

The only crime involving frozen pizza is when there isn’t any in the freezerwarminmn wrote: ↑Fri. Dec. 23, 2022 1:18 pm I have a Tombstone pizza I was saving for Christmas and all this pizza talk tells me its not going to last that long!
